ThumbGate converts developers' 👍/👎 feedback into governance rules for AI coding agents, enabling pre-execution interception via PreToolUse hooks. It supports the MCP protocol, is compatible with mainstream agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, and offers free personal and paid team plans to help prevent repeated errors and establish secure workflow patterns.
Section 01
ThumbGate is a feedback-driven governance framework for AI coding agents. It converts developers' 👍/👎 feedback into enforceable rules, using PreToolUse hooks to intercept risky operations before execution. Compatible with mainstream agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via the MCP protocol, it offers free (personal) and paid (Pro/team) tiers to prevent repeated errors and build secure workflows.
Section 02
As AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI) grow popular, they often repeat mistakes (e.g., force-pushing to main). Traditional solutions like CLAUDE.md or .cursorrules are advisory—agents can ignore them. This creates a need for a system that turns human feedback into actionable, enforced rules.
Section 03
ThumbGate’s core flow: When an agent makes a mistake (e.g., force push), the developer gives a 👎. Next time the agent tries the same action, the PreToolUse hook triggers to block it. Key tech: PreToolUse for execution interception, MCP protocol for compatibility with agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Amp, OpenCode.

Section 05
Pricing tiers: Free (personal:3 feedbacks/day,5 rules/search,5 gates); Pro ($19/month: local dashboard, DPO export); Team ($99/seat/month: shared rules,3-level approval). Advantage over static files: Enforced (vs advisory), auto-generated rules (vs manual), cross-session memory (vs none), shared team rules (vs individual), dynamic evolution (vs static).
Section 06
Use cases: Prevent repeated DB migration failures, control file access (e.g., restrict CI config edits), build team safety baselines. Limitations: Does not modify LLM weights (only blocks execution), risk of overgeneralized rules (needs regular rule checks).
Section 07
Quick start: Run npx thumbgate init for self-hosted setup (configures agent type, rule storage, PreToolUse hooks). Conclusion: ThumbGate shifts AI agent governance from static to dynamic, advisory to enforced, individual to team—becoming essential for AI-assisted dev teams to ensure safe, auditable workflows.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
This article details how to quickly deploy a virtual machine equipped with 4 NVIDIA V100 GPUs on Azure using Terraform to enable local inference of large language models with over 70B parameters. It covers a complete practical guide from infrastructure deployment, Ollama/vLLM dual-engine comparison testing, to cost optimization and actual performance data.
